Jeff McNeil Out With Shoulder Soreness
New York Mets infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil (shoulder) is dealing with right-shoulder soreness, which bothers him mostly when he's throwing, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo. It's the reason why McNeil is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the division-rival Washington Nationals. Brett Baty is starting at second base and will bat sixth against Nationals left-hander MacKenzie Gore. It sounds like the 33-year-old McNeil shouldn't need a trip to the injured list with an injury that has been bothering him since last week, but it's possible that he'll be eased back in as the designated hitter, possibly for Friday's series opener against the division-rival Atlanta Braves on the road. McNeil hasn't looked like a former batting champion in 2025, but he's looked his best in August, going 20-for-67 (.299) with a homer, six doubles, eight RBI and nine runs scored in 17 games played.
